When you sleep on your side, your shoulders and hips are the main contact points. They need to sink into the mattress while the surrounding areas stay supported. The springs play a direct role in contouring the body so the spine stays straight. More point elasticity means the mattress wraps around you rather than pushing back. This is why side sleepers tend to prefer models with micro springs. The cushioning lets shoulders and hips drop in without compromising spinal alignment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Back sleepers and stomach sleepers\u003C\u002Fstrong> generally need firmer springs to maintain spinal alignment. Too soft, and people with heavy shoulders or a heavier pelvis will sink, causing neck or back issues. That said, there are exceptions: people with lordosis, kyphosis, or a curvier body shape may prefer going slightly softer, because some sink is needed to accommodate spinal curvature or wider hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the part most mattress websites get wrong. They treat sleep position as a simple formula: \"side sleepers = soft, stomach sleepers = firm.\" But a 55kg side sleeper and a 110kg side sleeper that both sleep on their side need completely different spring tension \u003Cem>and\u003C\u002Fem> different comfort layer behaviour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>How sleep position maps to model choice\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Once we know your firmness range, your sleeping position guides which model to start with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Side sleepers\u003C\u002Fstrong> gravitate towards the Cloud (3,200 micro springs on a queen) or Aurora – the micro springs let shoulders and hips sink in for pressure relief without compromising support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Back sleepers\u003C\u002Fstrong> usually do well on the Cooper or Aurora at their default level.

If you're within 40kg of each other, a standard mattress works. The lighter partner still gets comfort and pressure relief from the micro springs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For couples with a 40kg+ weight difference, our recommendation is to buy two king singles and push them together or find a compromise. We used to make half-half mattresses, where each person got different springs, but it was difficult to get them right. Come into the showroom or call us up.

Memory foam stores roughly 70 times more heat than air by volume. That's why hot sleepers struggle on all foam mattresses. Gel-infused memory foam helps a bit, but it doesn't fix the physics. We use natural latex instead. It's responsive, breathable, and lasts 3-4 times longer.

The difference: most use fixed-tension springs you can't swap. We select springs for your body weight and arrange them in a honeycomb pattern (986 pocketed coils on a queen vs the typical 768 in a row layout). When comparing the best hybrid mattress options, ask whether the spring tension can be matched to your weight and changed later.

When one spring compresses, the surrounding springs move too, which transfers motion and limits contouring. Pocket springs work independently, so they respond to each part of your body separately.

Latex foam is responsive, dust-mite resistant, and very durable. A full latex mattress (all latex, no springs) exists but tends to be heavy and expensive.

You can sit on the edge, sleep at the edge, or get in and out without it collapsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most online mattresses use hard foam perimeters instead of a border wire. While foam borders can mean firmer edge support, it also stops airflow. Less airflow can mean mould. Here's how I like to look at it: Mattresses are for sleeping.

And Why Cooling Gels Won't Fix It","KARL'S QUICK OPINION: After making over 5,000 mattresses and fixing countless heat complaints, here's what I've learnt: your mattress feels hot because it traps heat your body produces, not because it generates heat itself. The amount of foam in your mattress is the single biggest factor. More foam equals more heat storage. All the cooling gel technology, phase change materials, and fancy marketing claims won't change basic physics. The only things that actually work are reducing the foam amount, using latex instead of memory foam, and improving air circulation. If you're asking, \"what is making my mattress so hot?\", the answer is almost always: too much foam trapping your body heat.","2025-12-03",[252],22,[254,255,256,257,258,259],140,141,142,145,143,144,{"id":261,"filename_download":262,"title":263,"description":264,"width":221,"height":222},"7453a050-3e4b-4a48-b556-274c33c5b93e","MattressHot.png","Mattress Hot","Woman overheating on a mattress, showing a hot sleeper.",{"id":266,"status":6,"date_created":267,"date_updated":268,"slug":269,"title":270,"subtitle":271,"date":272,"seo":273,"categories":274,"blocks":275,"image":278},20,"2025-11-28T06:21:29.348Z","2026-02-10T05:29:45.609Z","mattress-sagging","Mattress Sagging – Is It Time To Chuck It?","We get this a lot.\n\nIt is the single most common complaint in my industry.
